Charles Gordon Bell
Charles Gordon Bell (31 May 1889 – 29 July 1918) was an early British pilot. He was one of the first hundred licensed pilots in the United Kingdom, and in a short career became known as one of the most skilled and experienced pilots in the country. During the First World War he became an ace, shooting down five German aircraft, before returning to England to work as a flying instructor and test pilot. He was killed in July 1918, when an experimental aircraft he was flying crashed in France.
==Early career==
Gordon Bell was awarded Aviator's Certificate #100 by the Royal Aero Club in 1911, making him one of the earliest qualified pilots in the country.〔(''Flight'' 8 July 1911 )〕 As with many early aviators, he had learned at the Brooklands flying school.〔(''Flight'' 1 Aug. 1918 )〕 He then moved to France, where he worked for Robert Esnault-Pelterie's aircraft firm R.E.P.; while demonstrating one of their aircraft to potential buyers in Turkey, he became the first person to fly across the Sea of Marmara.〔
Over the following years, he became famous in flying circles, and was considered one of the most skilled pilots in the country. By 1914, he had flown over sixty different models of aircraft.〔 However, his reputation had been damaged by a fatal accident at Brooklands in 1913, where Gordon Bell's aircraft crashed whilst flying low over the airfield. The accident was ruled entirely due to pilot error,〔(''Flight'' 5 July 1913 )〕 and he was formally cautioned by the Royal Aero Club.〔(''Flight'' 18 October 1913 )〕 The passenger, a naval lieutenant, was killed, and Gordon Bell was badly injured.〔
